How to Read the Tally Intervals for a Configuration Manager Site
Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2007, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP2
In Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007, you can read the available tally intervals for a site by inspecting the site control file SMS_COMPONENT_STATUS_SUMMARIZER object Summary_Intervals embedded property list.
You use tally intervals for querying component (SMS_ComponentSummarizer) and site detail (SMS_SiteDetailSummarizer) summarizer classes. For more information, see About Configuration Manager Status Summarizers.
To read the tally intervals for a site
Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
Perform a query for the site's SMS_COMPONENT_STATUS_SUMMARIZER property lists
In the results from step two, search for the Summary_Intervals embedded property list.
Display the contents of the embedded property list.
Example
The following example method returns a SMS_TaskSequence object after importing it from the supplied XML.
For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.
Sub ShowSiteTallyIntervals(connection, siteCode)
Dim SCIComponent 'SMS_SCI_Component class
Dim SCIComponentSet 'Enumeration of SMS_SCI_Component
Dim query
Dim i
Dim vProperty 'Embedded property
query = "SELECT PropLists FROM SMS_SCI_Component " & _
"WHERE ComponentName = 'SMS_COMPONENT_STATUS_SUMMARIZER' " & _
"AND SiteCode = '" + siteCode + "'"
' You do not need to get a copy of the site control file just to read it.
Set SCIComponentSet = connection.ExecQuery(query)
' The query returns only one instance.
For Each SCIComponent In SCIComponentSet
For Each vProperty In SCIComponent.PropLists
If vProperty.PropertyListName = "Summary_Intervals" Then
For i = 0 To UBound(vProperty.Values)
WScript.Echo vProperty.Values(i)
Next
End If
Next
Next
End Sub
public void ShowSiteTallyIntervals(WqlConnectionManager connection, string siteCode)
{
try
{
// Query for the site's site control file SMS_COMPONENT_STATUS_SUMMARIZER property lists.
IResultObject query =
connection.QueryProcessor.ExecuteQuery("SELECT PropLists FROM SMS_SCI_Component " +
"WHERE ComponentName = 'SMS_COMPONENT_STATUS_SUMMARIZER' " +
"AND SiteCode = '" + siteCode + "'");
foreach (IResultObject r in query)
{
// Get the summary intervals and display them.
if (r.EmbeddedPropertyLists.ContainsKey("Summary_Intervals"))
{
Console.WriteLine(r.EmbeddedPropertyLists["Summary_Intervals"]["PropertyListName"].StringValue);
foreach (string value in r.EmbeddedPropertyLists["Summary_Intervals"]["Values"].StringArrayValue)
{
Console.WriteLine(value);
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Not found");
return;
}
}
}
catch (SmsException e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Failed to tally intervals: " + e.Message);
throw;
}
}
The example method has the following parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
connection |
|
A valid connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager. |
siteCode |
|
A valid Configuration Manager 2007 site code. |
